    This is a good point. They aren’t just afraid of queer sexualities but all sexuality. The old sodomy laws made it illegal to receive or receive oral sex. This will affect everyone

      Ancient humans: We don’t know why we’re getting sick. Maybe if we stop mouth and butt stuff, it will help. Let’s make some laws and try it.

      Modern humans: We know exactly why people get sick and how to prevent it, but we’re going to enforce ancient laws anyway because it helps us control the rubes.

      In Utah they’re afraid of ALL sexuality. They’d rather humans didn’t have such “urges” at all. I don’t know where all these little Mormon kids keep coming from, but someone’s cabbage patch sure is doing good business.

      It isn’t all that ironic that the state with the highest rates of teenage pregnancy is good old Utah - even though (and frankly, because) we outlaw teaching kids about sexuality and giving them any education about what sex is all about.
